<><><>MISSIONS<><><> (6)

Master all 6 missions in Sonic Adventure 2 with this comprehensive guide. Find Emerald pieces, collect rings, locate Chao, and beat Hard mode.

Walkthrough:

1. Mission 1: Find 3 pieces of the Master Emerald! This is a challenging Knuckles mission. Use in-game computers for tips on emerald locations. Check the tops of pillars with large stone pumpkin heads. Emerald pieces are randomly placed.
2. Mission 2: Collect 100 rings! This mission can be frustrating. Rings are scattered, but some can be found in balloons. Check the gray beams between landmasses and on top of Church Hill. Pumpkin Hill has fewer rings but some can still be found.
3. Mission 3: Find the lost Chao! From the start, glide to the middle platform. Go to the right platform to reach Ghost Train Mountain. After dropping from the rocket, look right for Pumpkin Hill. Glide towards the mountain to a low ledge on the left. Use the rocket there to launch to the top. Find the ancient shrine, follow the appearing platforms to reach the Chao.
4. Mission 4: Collect the Emerald pieces in 3 minutes 0 seconds! Use computers for tips on emerald locations, trying different ones if the tips are unhelpful. It's recommended to be familiar with Pumpkin Hill before attempting this timed mission.
5. Mission 5: Clear Hard mode! The first two emerald pieces are relatively easy. The third can be difficult. Be aware of flying machines that shoot and larger ghosts that require multiple hits. From the start, glide to the center platform, then to the right platform. Destroy the large ghost. Look right for spinning spiked ball enemies and glide to that platform. Turn back and glide to the bottom of a mountain. Climb up to a ledge near a pipe. Jump off, glide away from the wall to find a piece. Another piece is near the bottom of Pumpkin Hill. Climb down the mountain wall, moving around until your radar beeps. Find two skulls breathing fire and a flying robot. Dig where the fire is directed after the skulls finish. The final piece is high in the air. Go to Church Hill. On top of the mountain, go to the back side with land and graves. Climb onto the church and reach the very top. Use your sunglasses to trigger a spring that launches you forward. Glide quickly to grab the piece.
